No desktop operating system meets this criteria though, at least not if you allow user-defined hardware combinations. I remember I had to do some hackery on a driver to get my sister's printer to work with her macbook/OSX. I've had all sorts of issues with printers/scanners/random software combinations/drivers/failed automatic update crash loops(!)/etc with Windows. The only operating systems that might meet the criteria are on tablets and phones (which are obviously not desktops) -- and even then I've had to cross-compile a kernel module to support a wifi adapter w/ USB OTG.
